Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is visiting Greenland to build trust and cooperation with local officials amidst US interest in the strategically critical island. Frederiksen’s trip aims to strengthen ties between Denmark and Greenland.
The visit comes after US Vice President JD Vance accused Denmark of underinvesting in Greenland, sparking tensions between the two nations. Greenland’s incoming leader, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, has stated that the island will resist any US attempt to annex the territory, emphasizing that Greenland’s future is decided by its people, not external forces.
